I know what the Creative Commons is but not this new thing or why it keeps popping up in comments on Lemmy

    You don’t need to license each of your comments. By default you retain all ownership. So you applying a license is strictly allowing more use. Basically if AI training was not allowed due to copyright than they can’t use any comment by default. If AI training is fair-use (which seems to be most companies’ claim) then it is irrelevant how you have licensed the comment.

    In no situation does granting an additional license to a work restrict the ways in which works can be used under other licenses.

        No, it is more. You aren’t restricting anything, it is just a superset of uses. If you want to explicitly license your comments for wider use that is fine, but don’t misrepresent it as “Anti Commercial-AI”. Just frame it as licensed for non-commercial use.

          There are restrictions included in that license, you’re incorrect in that.

          But my point, which you are ignoring, is that when someone includes a license it doesn’t have to be for more restrictive nature, or for more open one, but just different from the default if the content was not explicitly notated with a licensed.

          but don’t misrepresent it as “Anti Commercial-AI”. Just frame it as licensed for non-commercial use.

          I’m not misrepresenting anything, you’re the one getting overly hung up on that short layman’s sentence which describes my purpose for including the license in the comment.

          The actual representation of the license it’s included to the right of that sentence.

          I’m pretty sure we’re not going to agree on this, you really weirdly seem hung up on this, and I’m not agreeing with your opinion on the matter, so let’s move on from this point.
